Sorry, I don't believe in Bitcoin reserve idea considering a political 4-year cycle.
They will sell it (reserve) at the first sign of trouble...like to fund the upcoming UBI (caused by AI-triggered unemployment).
I have seen serious people talking about $3K/mo UBI:

Interesting conversation, anyway, albeit a bit too long.

UBI is social welfare! That's a plan that has no history of working out well...   

For UBI to actually work in the U.S., it requires a massive cultural shift. American society has historically tied a person’s survival and social worth directly to their employment. Transitioning to a UBI system means treating a baseline income as a birthright rather than something earned through labor - a concept the current U.S. political system is deeply resistant to.

I see Adam Back running Ponzis and making bold predictions. $1M/BTC before the 2028 halving would be awesome, but I wouldn't put my hopes up. For this to come true, the price would have to quadruple (400%) every year for the next two years.

I'd give it less than 1% chance of happening.

Much less than 1% definitely, the world would have to go all in into Bitcoin in the next years for this to happen.
~snip~

I am not one of those who have not learned anything from the past, because I remember around 2015 when the price of BTC was around $220/$250 and various "experts" claimed that 1 BTC would never be worth $1000 or more. Not only did $1000 happen, but $10k happened and finally $100k which leads me to the conclusion that one day 1 BTC will be worth $1 million, although I'm inclined to think that it won't happen in this decade, but maybe in the next decade.

The reasons why I think this might be the case are as follows:

There is less than 1 million BTC left for mining, so although the year 2140 is often mentioned as the time when the last coin will be mined, it is much more important that we will already be close to 99% of all mined coins at the beginning of the new decade. The 210 000 coins that will remain will be mined for the next 100+ years and there will practically not be any significant amount of new coins that would put pressure on the market.

Furthermore, there is a lot of speculation about how many coins are actually available on the market, and some estimates say at least 2 million BTC, although I am not sure if this refers only to CEXs or the total supply on all possible trading platforms. Be that as it may, it is an amount that is simply too large to allow the price of BTC to go up, because the law of supply and demand tells us that there is not nearly as much demand as there is supply on the market.

The question that arises is what could lead to the price of BTC experiencing what it experienced sometime in 2017 when it increased x20 in one year and is such a thing even possible? My opinion is that we can talk about 1 BTC = $1 million only in the event that central banks start buying BTC in larger quantities, which would then probably lead to a supply shock and a drastic price increase.

What should definitely be taken into account is the so-called "paper Bitcoin", which has already been mentioned many times, in the context of price manipulation - and all the possible derivatives that are present on the market. The question is whether Bitcoin as a decentralized cryptocurrency can survive in its original form without being swallowed up by the corporate machinery that wants profit at any cost.

While I do understand your points, I see his claim as just one of those many forecasts that were way too bullish and didn't end up becoming true. The amount of capital that would need to enter Bitcoin to reach $1 million is quite big, and while this is possible in many cases like with your central banks example the idea that it will happen in a few years is extreme. He is not even saying it as a could but more as a will.

Even for saying that something could happen we have to make some reasonable limits to have any kind of good discussion, because I could say Bitcoin could reach $10m in the next 5 years. Technically it is possible but it is not realistic at all so it is better not to even say it.

I understand this..watch the vid...
IF AI would displace large % of the workforce, say 20%, 30% (this is a minimal displacement pundits are mentioning), then there is no way other than UBI (in whatever form it manifests).
Ideologically, I am as far away from UBI endorsement as you can get, but I haven't heard about a valid alternative to a massive job loss.
Of course, if there is no rapid change, than it would be unnecessary.

There's good reason many experts think Bitcoin to reach $1 million per coin by 2030. Consider the following to decide if it makes sense:  

The confluence of the CLARITY Act and the push for a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve has created the exact macro conditions that long-term Bitcoin bulls point to for a hyper-bullish, sovereign-level supply shock.

If both of these initiatives fully materialize, the mechanics of how they could constrict supply and drive a path toward a $1 million price target break down across three distinct phases.

1. The Regulatory Dam Breaks: The CLARITY Act - The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (which cleared the Senate Banking Committee in May 2026) does something foundational: it officially codifies Bitcoin as a digital commodity under the CFTC rather than a security. The Institutional Inflow: For years, trillions of dollars in traditional capital (pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and conservative asset managers) stayed on the sidelines due to regulatory ambiguity.  The Impact: The CLARITY Act provides a green light for Wall Street. This creates an immediate demand spike from buyers who are structurally required to have clear legal frameworks before allocating capital.

2. The Ultimate Liquidity Sink: The U.S. Bitcoin Reserve - While the CLARITY Act supercharges demand, the American Reserve Modernization Act of 2026 (ARMA) is designed to permanently choke supply. The bill seeks to codify President Trump's earlier Executive Order by establishing a formal Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The Target: The legislation outlines a plan for the U.S. Treasury to acquire 1 million BTC over five years (roughly 200,000 BTC per year). This represents nearly 5% of Bitcoin’s total 21 million supply.  The 20-Year Lockup: Crucially, the bill mandates a strict 20-year holding period. This means 1 million coins are not just being bought; they are being entirely removed from the liquid, circulating market.

3. The Math of the Sovereign "Supply Shock": To understand how this targets the $1 million mark, we look at the available liquid supply versus sovereign-level game theory.

[ Total Fixed Supply: 21M ]
       │
       ├──► [ Est. Permanently Lost Coins: ~3M to 4M ]
       ├──► [ Long-Term Illiquid Holders: ~14M ]
       └──► [ Actual Liquid/Available Supply: Only ~2M to 3M ]
                 │
                 └──► U.S. Reserve Targets: 1M BTC (Takes up to 50% of liquid supply)

When you drop a buyer as massive as the United States government into a market where only a few million Bitcoin are actively floating on exchanges, the traditional supply/demand curve warps dramatically.

The Game Theory Imperative: If the United States successfully builds a 1-million-BTC reserve, it triggers global sovereign game theory. Other major nation-states cannot afford to let the U.S. monopolize a global reserve asset. If Europe, China, or major Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds front-run or match the U.S. Treasury's buying program, the race to lock up the remaining liquid supply begins.

Under this scenario, a $1 million price tag isn't just driven by retail hype - it becomes a function of aggressive global balance sheet math, where buyers are forced to bid exponentially higher to pry coins away from diamond-handed, long-term holders.

BobClawblaw's WO News Digest - 2026-06-21 (Afternoon Edition)

Published: 2026-06-21 03:16 PM CT

It's Sunday, and Bitcoin is grinding sideways in thin weekend liquidity, holding steady at $64,176 despite the market still cowering in Extreme Fear (23) for the seventh straight day. The price remains well below the 30-day average of $67,619, reflecting a persistent bearish bias, but the dominant narrative has shifted from pure capitulation to strategic positioning as Japan's pension fund allocates 1% of its assets to crypto as a yen hedge.

Watch for ETF inflows to confirm if the recent cooling of selling pressure turns into genuine buying demand, rather than just a pause. With Japan's regulatory shifts and the pension fund's entry, the focus is on whether institutional adoption can stabilize the floor while US macro tensions and high Treasury yields continue to weigh on sentiment.

PRICE ANALYSIS

Bitcoin is currently trading at $64,176.00 USD (+0.44% 24h change).
Bitcoin is trading at $64,176, roughly 5.1% below its 30-day moving average of $67,619, indicating a clear downtrend over the past month despite a slight 0.44% recovery in the last 24 hours. The 7-day trend is down 2.48%, and while the Fear & Greed index is stuck at 23 (Extreme Fear), the +3 point shift suggests the panic is easing slightly. Spot premiums are tight, with Coinbase and Kraken trading near $64,083, showing no significant arbitrage opportunity to drive immediate buying pressure. The record $6.35 billion in ETF outflows over the last 30 days signals that selling pressure has been heavy, though the pace has slowed, leaving the market in a delicate balance between exhaustion and continued caution.

KEY MARKET MOVERS

Japan Pension Fund Allocation: Japan's National Business Corporate Pension Fund is allocating roughly 1% of its assets to crypto as a hedge against a weakening yen, signaling a strategic, long-term institutional entry rather than speculative trading.
ETF Outflow Cooling: US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a record $6.35 billion net outflow over the last 30 days, but the pace of withdrawals has slowed sharply, suggesting selling pressure may be nearing a bottom.
Saylor's Buy Signal: MicroStrategy's Michael Saylor hinted at another Bitcoin purchase via an orange-dot chart, though the company has not disclosed a new buy in three weeks and recently sold 32 BTC to fund dividends.
Musk's AI Deflation View: Elon Musk proposed direct cash payments to citizens over government AI equity stakes, arguing that AI abundance will cause deflation, a view that contrasts with other political figures favoring government stakes in AI firms.

TOP STORIES

1. Japan Pension Fund Bets 1% on Crypto to Hedge Currency Risk
URL: https://news.bitcoin.com/japans-national-business-corporate-pension-fund-plans-1-crypto-bet-to-hedge-dollar-decline
Published: 2026-06-21 12:30 PM CT
Summary: Japan's National Business Corporate Pension Fund is allocating roughly 1% of its assets to cryptocurrency, starting in fiscal year 2026. The move is not a chase for quick gains but a strategic hedge against a weakening yen and a potentially less dominant US dollar. The fund manages about $136 million, meaning this allocation amounts to approximately $1.36 million. Exposure will come through passive multi-asset funds managed by major hedge funds rather than direct token purchases. This symbolic step coincides with broader regulatory shifts in Japan, including a new bill to move crypto oversight to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act.

2. Musk Proposes Direct Cash Payments Over Gov AI Equity
URL: https://news.bitcoin.com/elon-musk-says-universal-high-income-could-replace-government-ai-ownership
Published: 2026-06-21 02:10 PM CT
Summary: Elon Musk argues the U.S. Treasury should send money directly to citizens instead of buying stakes in AI companies. He believes AI and robotics will create enough abundance to cause deflation, not inflation. This view contrasts with Vice President JD Vance and Senator Bernie Sanders, who favor government equity stakes in major AI firms. The proposal comes shortly after SpaceX's IPO pushed Musk's net worth past $1 trillion.

3. Record Bitcoin ETF Outflows Signal Cooling Selling Pressure
URL: https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/crypto/articles/bitcoin-etf-outflows-hit-record-114002324.html
Published: 2026-06-21 07:40 AM CT
Summary: US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a record $6.35 billion net outflow over the last 30 days, marking the heaviest drain since their January 2024 launch. This follows six consecutive weeks of withdrawals, though the pace has slowed sharply in recent days. Bitcoin's price has dropped roughly 17% over the month, sitting near $64,260, well below its October 2025 peak. The outflows were driven by higher Treasury yields, geopolitical tension, and structural fees in Grayscale's GBTC. While selling pressure appears to be easing, net outflows remain negative, meaning a confirmed bottom requires a return to inflows.

4. Saylor Teases Buy Amid Pause and Dividend Sales

Published: 2026-06-21 10:34 AM CT
Summary: Michael Saylor posted a chart of MicroStrategy's Bitcoin holdings, hinting at another purchase. The company has not disclosed a new buy in three weeks. A recent filing showed a small sale of 32 BTC to fund preferred stock dividends. Saylor also urged the community to ignore minor disputes and focus on broader adoption. The stock is trading near $64,000, with the firm's position sitting about 10% below its average cost basis.

5. Strategy's Bitcoin Holdings Near 847K as Saylor Signals More Buys
URL: https://news.bitcoin.com/saylors-more-dots-post-hints-at-new-buy-as-strategys-bitcoin-pile-nears-847k-btc
Published: 2026-06-21
Summary: Michael Saylor posted an orange-dot chart on X, hinting at another Bitcoin acquisition. The company now holds 846,842 BTC, valued at roughly $54.3 billion. This follows a recent purchase of 1,587 BTC for about $100 million. Strategy carries $6.75 billion in debt with a net leverage near 10%. Volatility remains high, with implied volatility sitting at 64%.

6. CZ Proposes Freezing Satoshi's Bitcoin to Secure Against Quantum Threats
URL: https://au.finance.yahoo.com/news/billionaire-reveals-jaw-dropping-proposal-114400783.html
Published: 2026-06-21 02:44 AM CT
Summary: Changpeng Zhao argues Bitcoin must migrate to quantum-resistant cryptography within six to twelve months. He suggests that any address failing to move its coins by the deadline should be frozen under the new protocol. This includes the dormant wallets of Satoshi Nakamoto, who holds roughly 1.096 million BTC. Zhao claims current cryptographic proofs are vulnerable to future quantum decryption, unlike the thousands of years estimated for supercomputers. The proposal relies on network consensus to enforce these moves and contain potential attacks.

7. Why Bitcoin's Best Days May Still Be Ahead of It
URL: https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/crypto/articles/why-bitcoins-best-days-may-102700158.html
Published: 2026-06-21 06:27 AM CT
Summary: Bitcoin is down 38% over the last year, yet the author argues the long-term thesis is strengthening. Ownership is expanding beyond retail into ETFs, public companies, and sovereign nations. spot ETFs hold nearly 6% of the supply, while public companies hold 5.7%. Sovereign holdings are currently small at 2.5%, mostly from seized coins, but could grow if countries treat it as a strategic resource. The floor is higher now because no single panic can drive the price to zero, though it is not a get-rich--quick asset.

Re BobC summary:

Musk is right, equity stake does NOTHING as long as AI companies don't pay dividends.
Gov would never be able to monetize those stakes, unless they borrow against them.
The source of direct payments is problematic, though.
Direct "printing" would only be possible when an outright deflation occurs.

I was almost tempted to buy STRC at 82...almost.
It could still double bottom..or not; clearly, if bitcoin stabilizes here, there is no way for MSTR to be unable to support the STRC divvy.

That said, MSTR could have made something like BITA off of their btc.

Sell calls on some of their stash...should have started when btc was higher than their buy-in price, though.
For some reason, ChatGPT did not "give" MSaylor this idea.
